>^..^< HELLO KITTY =^..^=

Hello Kitty’s real name is Kitty White and she was born in the suburbs of London, England on November 1. Kitty lives in a red roof little white house at a suburban town 20km from London. The name of the town is unknown, but the population is roughly around 20,000. It takes about 25 minutes to get there by car, and about 30 minutes by bus.

Kitty’s height is described as five apples and her weight as three apples. She is portrayed as a bright and kind-hearted girl, very close to her twin sister Mimmy. She is good at baking cookies and loves Mama’s homemade apple pie. She likes to collect cute things and her favorite subjects in school are English, music and art. She loves to go outside, play in the park, or the forest.

Kitty loves to meet new people and make new friends, therefore she is extremely popular at school! Since dad works at New York, hence she also has lots of teddy bear friends. She loves sports too; her favorite sport is tennis. She has a tricycle which she uses to travel around her neighborhood, to go to shopping, also to travel to the nearby park to play with her friends. Kitty likes collecting little stars, little goldfishes, lollies and as many ribbons as possible as decorations. In her spare time, she like to visit the candy store too.

Hello Kitty is portrayed surrounded by a large family who all go by the last name White. Her twin sister Mimmy is described as “shy and very girly,” interested in sewing and dreaming of marriage. While Hello Kitty wears a bow on her left ear, Mimmy wears hers on the right. Their Papa, George, is described as dependable, humorous but also absent-minded. Mama, Mary, is portrayed as a good cook who loves doing housework. Grandpa Anthony likes to tell stories and Grandma Margaret likes sewing. Kitty’s grandparents live in a forest, which to get there it takes a whole day travelling on foot. Hello Kitty’s dad often takes Kitty, Mimmy and the rest of the family to visit them.

Dear Daniel is Hello Kitty’s childhood friend. His character profile describes him as born in London on May 3 with the real name Daniel Starr. He travelled with his parents and was away from Hello Kitty for a long time. He is portrayed as fashionable and sensitive, good at dancing and playing the piano, with an interest in photography and dreams of being a celebrity. Charmmy Kitty is Hello Kitty’s pet, a white Persian. She is described as docile, obedient and fond of shiny things. Her necklace holds the key to Hello Kitty’s jewellery box. Hello Kitty also has a pet hamster named Sugar, who was a gift from Dear Daniel. A few of many of Hello Kitty’s friends are, Kathy (a rabbit), Fifi (a sheep), Tracy (a raccoon), Joey (a mouse).
